Lake Fork Verne - Town blacksmith

My ^Dhome town had a blacksmith named Henry ^EBosler He was the ^Aone on whom all the farmers ^Ddepend Mr Bosler would make their plow shares ^Esharper So they ^Acould go back and plow their fields ^Dagain

He ^Ghad a little shed on the far side of ^Dtown Where they ^Ewould come and form a long ^Aline If the ^Ddidnt get there real ^Eearly They would ^Alose a day of plowing ^Dtime

Some ^Dof the big farmers got real ^Eedgy And ^Awanted to move up and get out of ^Dline But Henry would stare at them with his heavy ^Ehammer They would ^Agrumble, but get back in ^Dline

Henry ^GBosler was the village ^Dblacksmith And the ^Eonly one for miles a- ^Around At ^Dtimes, he could be real inde- ^Ependent Make him ^Aself scarce, not to be ^Dfound ^D7

Everyone ^Gfinally knew he was ^Dneeded And they ^Emade a point to thank him every ^Aday Then ^DHenry came down with a ^Esickness And they ^Aused a black wagon to haul him ^Daway

Now ^Dthe town is very ^Esorry That ^Athey had treated him that ^Dway They took up a big ^Ecollection And sent ^Ait to his sister far, far ^Daway

I ^Dknow the town did not ^Eprosper Without ^AMr. Bosler there every ^Dday Some say it was his way of gettin ^Eeven And that ^Ahe and his sister are spending that collection ^Dtoday.
